Add a 'Requests Used' text line (e.g. '60 / 300') to the Copilot plugin detail view, giving users visibility into exact premium request consumption alongside the existing percentage progress bar. - Compute used = entitlement - remaining from premium_interactions snapshot - Guard against missing/invalid fields and clamp negative values to 0 - Scope to detail view in plugin.json to keep overview uncluttered - Paid tier only; free tier is unaffected - Add 4 tests covering presence, absence, clamping, and free tier exclusion - Update docs/providers/copilot.md with new line entry

Pull request overview
Adds a paid-tier-only detail metric to the Copilot provider so users can see exact premium request consumption (used vs. entitlement) rather than only percent remaining.
Changes:
- Add a new
Requests Useddetail line to the Copilot plugin manifest. - Compute and emit the
Requests Usedtext line frompremium_interactions.entitlementandpremium_interactions.remaining. - Add test coverage for presence/absence and clamping behavior, and update provider docs.

Avoid var here; the rest of this plugin uses const/let. Using const used = ... (or let if you intend to reassign) prevents hoisting-related surprises and keeps style consistent.

@thatdaveguy1 hey, thanks for the PR! Could you please provide screeshots?

@davidarny Sure. Main menu is unchanged (undecided on this, personally I would like if this showed requests too) 
detail view is where it shows

I'm not fully sold on this from a UI/UX perspective tbh. Feels like we're showing the same information twice. Curious to hear your thoughts on this too @robinebers |

I agree. I think if Co-Pilot uses requests to begin with, then the plugin should be refactored to just show requests instead of percentages. The only reason we generally go for percentages is because subscriptions like OpenAI and Claude are not request-based. A good example of this is the Droid plugin where we show tokens instead of percentages. |
Description
Adds a Requests Used text line (e.g.
60 / 300) to the Copilot plugin detail view. This gives users visibility into their exact premium request consumption alongside the existing percentage-based progress bar.Copilot uses a request-based quota system, but the current plugin only shows "80% remaining" — which is ambiguous without knowing the total. This PR surfaces the raw counts already present in the API response (
entitlementandremainingfrompremium_interactions), requiring no additional API calls.Scope: Paid tier only. Free tier is unaffected. The line is scoped to
detailinplugin.jsonso it doesn't clutter the overview.Related Issue
